CUSTOM ORDER OPTIONS BY G&L

Since we're local to the G&L factory it's no surprise we specialize in "custom order" G&L's! We can get any new G&L model in any color, curly maple topped, birdseye necked, or ANY option that G&L offers!!

Let the master craftsmen at G&L build you the guitar of your dreams!! To see how those dreams can come true ~ here's a list of several options that G&L offers.

Keep in mind that some models ALREADY include certain features ~ so always ask us for details on the model you want.

NOTE: Prices are based on current G&L price sheet and are subject to change. (But we'll do our best to update this page if they do!)
